Whatcha gonna do now the party's over
Whatcha gonna do now the party's over
Who you gonna turn to now the party's over
Whatcha gonna do now the party's over
NO CAREER NO HOPE NO FUN NO FASHION
NO CAREER NO HOPE NO FUN NO FASHION
NO CAREER NO HOPE NO FUN NO FASHION
NO CAREER NO HOPE NO FUN NO FASHION
No rewards for working hard
No boomtown kids making boomtown art
Parasitic pop, worthless charts
Boomtown kids making boomtown art
NO CAREER!
How's it going to sell now there's nobody to buy it
I actually do predict an actual riot
You look alright on the dancefloor but you could look better
It's hard to look hot in a hand-me-down sweater
You can't take me out 'cause you ain't got no money
You're mate is still a victim but it's nowhere near as funny
There's trouble in America, trouble you can touch
You can't go to rehab 'cause it costs too much!
Nothing is yellow, everything is green
No Boomtown art for jobless teens
Go back to London, we're cancelling the show
SHUT UP! YOU'VE BEEN LET GO!
NO CAREER NO HOPE NO FUN NO FASHION
NO CAREER NO HOPE NO FUN NO FASHION
NO CAREER NO HOPE NO FUN NO FASHION
THANK FUCK FOR THE FUCKING RECESSION!
Boomtown kids making boomtown art
No boomtown kids making boomtown art!
GO RECESSION, HEY HEY RECESSION
GO RECESSION HEY HEY RECESSION
GO RECESSION THANK FUCK FOR THE RECESSION
GO RECESSION! HEY HEY HEY HEY!
